Hi, just incase the subject doesn't quite explain my problem, here is a bit more detail...

I am trying to use the below code:


This code does not work and I am unsure why this would not be allowed. Is there anyway I could re-phrase the code to make it work?

I really don't want to go through the effort of having:


That just seems to much effort to be the only way of doing this.
If there is no way of using an array within the type, is there a function which allows me to use a string varaible to refer to a variable? IE:


I know thats a bit crazy, but if I was to have about 100 systems with just 10 planets each, the amount of typing to have them update would be painful if I have to refer to them all individually... But it seems like I will have to.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks for reading.

You can't, unfortunately.
You can make a global array separate from your type or use data (or even actual array) pointers as fields in your type. That will make it rather bothersome to go through, however.

That really sucks. =/

Nearly as much as the amount of time it took to find out... Can't wait till my posts don't need to be checked before appearing.

Well, thanks for the info, it seems like I may aswell get into using a database or something else stupidly to far.

However I will try your global array idea, thanks again!

As Rudolpho explained it's one of the several key features that DBP is missing.

However there is a workaround that I use:



That way you have 100 solar systems, and 20 planets per system. So the fifth planet of the 30th solar system would be accessed with Planets(30, 5) (unless you're using index zero in which case it would be Planets(29, 4))
